You are quite wrong. 1-1 game turned into a 3-1 game with Hader pitching in the ninth. Probably not best to use all capitals here, either....

Game was 3-1 before Hader ever came in the game. And even starter Darvish gave up NO BB's. I'm done with you.

Hader relieved Yu Darvish (10-7) with the game tied at 1 after the right-hander allowed two singles sandwiched around the first out in the ninth. Hader, obtained from Milwaukee on Aug. 1, hit Luke Voit with a pitch to load the bases and then walked Cruz. Keibert Ruiz followed with a sacrifice fly.

"Done with me?" Geez man, can you stop with the All-Caps shouting and read a basic game summary?

That whole exchange was…bizarre.

Nuthin's ever easy. A 5 run lead w/ Burnes on the mound & you wind up having to use 5 pitchers. BP was fresh so it doesn't hurt you but still.......

Sure would be nice to still have Bickford, that's an impressive multi-inning arm for the pen. Didn't show that kind of when-I-most-need-it command when he was here.

To continue to look lost way too often at the plate (14 K) & split these four says something. It's nice to see the defense & consistent mound quality return. Time for one of those offensive hot (or at least lukewarm) streaks.

Burnes giving up 3 runs (would have been 4 if Taylor hadn’t pulled Lux’s drive back into the park) and failing to get out of the sixth inning was the one disappointment in that game. With a 5 run lead it would have been helpful for him to get through 7 innings. 
 

Boxberger, Rogers, Bush, and Williams were all available to finish the game, but being forced to use them all yesterday could have an impact today or tomorrow depending on how those games go. 
 

During this stretch of 30 games in 30 days with just one off day it will be difficult for the Brewers to stack up the wins they need if they have to use 5 pitchers to get every win. The ace pitchers covering more innings would be a big help.

You HAVE to be looking at a different game. NONE OF THAT HAPPENED with Hader.

I’m thinking there’s sarcasm here…or maybe not

There's no sarcasm there. Dude was continuously wrong, and doubled down several times. Plus he's a grouchy grouch LOL
